رجل بقلب أبيض ووجه من نور.. سيرة النقاء في زمن الطيبين

In the tranquil village of Al-Manashlah, nestled among the mountains of Al-Baha, Saad bin Ahmed bin Abdul Rahman was born in the year 1350 AH to be the only son of his mother and the pulse that carried the meaning of motherhood in all its details. He grew up with a face as bright as his pure heart, carrying within his features the calmness of the mountains and the warmth of the simple folk.

He learned his first letters in the presence of Sheikh Ibn Nasser and then joined Al-Dhafir formal school in 1361 AH, where he studied under the guidance of Professor Abdul Hai Kamal, who instilled in him a love for knowledge. However, he soon returned to the embrace of practical life, accompanying his father in trade and wandering the markets, relying on himself at an early age, learning from experience more than he learned in classrooms.

At a later stage, he set off to Aramco, where he spent two and a half successful years in his work before his father's desire brought him back to the land of Al-Baha. There, at the suggestion of Sheikh Saad Al-Mulais, he returned to his studies to complete his journey and then embarked on a teaching career at Bani Kabir School, carrying the light of knowledge and the message of education.

Saad bin Ahmed was not just a teacher; he was also a seeker in the paths of الدعوة (Da'wah), studying the sciences of faith and jurisprudence.

In Baljurashi, he carried the banner of religious education at Ghamid Intermediate School and then moved to manage Al-Siddiq Primary School, where he wrote a distinguished chapter in the record of achievements, as the school under his leadership won cups for excellence in sports, culture, and arts in one year. He was not merely an administrative director but rather a caring father who personally followed up on activities and supported them from his own funds.

He then moved to Jeddah to continue his educational journey, shifting between the procurement department and teaching schools before retiring quietly, akin to his beautiful silence. However, his giving did not stop; he was a support for widows and the elderly, hosting them, completing their paperwork, accompanying them to hospitals, and striving to register them for social security, as if his heart was a spacious place for every needy person.

In maintaining family ties, he was a sign of compassion, not differentiating between young and old, and never missing an occasion. He visited the sick, comforted the grieving, and congratulated the joyful, and if someone was absent from the scene, he was the first to inquire about them.

He built a mosque for his parents, and his life was a series of good deeds in which he sought neither light nor praise.

He is the man who remained pure-hearted at every turn and whose face carried the purity of the sincere. A father to nine sons and daughters, a mentor to generations, and a hand that knows no hesitation when called upon by the needs of people.

He is Saad bin Ahmed, a radiant legacy in a time when we need more like him to remind us that the good souls do not depart but remain in the memory of the earth as long as loyalty exists.

May Allah have mercy on Saad bin Ahmed; his body has departed, but his good influence remains a testament to the purity of his heart and the sincerity of his giving.

We ask Allah to grant him the highest paradise and reward him for his goodness and generosity with the best reward.
